We considered this submission to be relevant to our work programme because we see rivers as the linkage between our Project LivestockNZ and Project OneOceanNZ. The health of our oceans, particularly in inshore areas, is directly linked to the health of our waterways. Read the consultation document on the Ministry for the Environment website.

Background to OneOceanNZProject OneOceanNZ aims to explore New Zealand’s public policy landscape in order to contribute to a wider discussion on how we might best manage our oceans. We will continue to look at public policy solutions around ocean governance, as it is an important long-term issue for New Zealand.
